Applied LNG Technologies (ALT) will deliver the liquefied natural gas (LNG) from its plant in Topock, Arizona to Sysco of Los Angeles (LA) for use in Sysco’s fleet of delivery trucks.

Earth Biofuels noted that transportation grade LNG helps companies meet strict emission standards in the state of California. Vehicles fueled by the transportation grade LNG produce approximately one-sixth of the nitrous oxides and up to 15% less greenhouse gases than comparable petroleum diesel fueled vehicles, the company said.

Kevin Markey, ALT’s vice president of operations, said: This long-term agreement gives ALT the opportunity to continue our relationship with an outstanding group like Sysco Foods of LA that is dedicated to natural gas fuel alternatives.
